The Proposer is ready when commanded to demonstrate at 

 large the facihtie of bringing this designe to effect, the pro- 

 babihtie and greatness of its advantages when effected, and the

 the wealth, strength, and honour of the Nation, and as to Objec-

 Except that of the want of £600,000 to carry on the work ; Yet 

 hee conceives hee had already removed this objection by having 

 demonstrated the quicknes and probabihtie of the Returne 

 of this Fund with so great an Encrease into the pubHque Coffers, 

 and presentes that Demonstration to them who have power to 

 give and lay out the money proposed ; But cannot lay it out 

 to better advantage for improving their and their Posterityes 

 safe tie, honour and wealth then by bringing this Designe to 

 perfection.
